ELC...I get it, now.

I finally took possession of my first "High end" A2, an Eastman House in goat. I'm completely smitten with this jacket, and frankly, I don't want to take it off. My wife, who does not like the A2 design at all, even concedes that it's a smashing jacket.

I have the serious feeling that, while I'll probably never need another A2, that I'm going to want more.

Congrats! But of course, we want pics and I'll warn you now it ain't your last one. lol
Pics, then start saving. BYW, took my wife a bit to get used to them too. She loves them now. Go figger.

Here's one from my wife's camera. By far the best jacket I've owned.

Looking good. Time to start saving up for the next one - in russet colour.

Nice jacket, nice fit. There really isn't very much to not like about the A-2.

Looks good on you, I know what you mean, I recently got an Eastman B-15 in endzone twill. Exceptional quality, very impressed, I just cannot post photos atm as my bandwith has collapsed to 180K.

Looks good. Nice jacket for sure.

Very nice jacket

Very nice jacket

A little olive oil and gentle working in with your fingers will age that name tag more in keeping with the knit colour if you want a less contrasting view to the jacket.
Hopefully its not full of black marker pen !!!!
Looking good

Nice fitting. Right now, ELC is my way to go. I guess if I was in the USA I'd give Goodwear a try too.

It is. It's the same size as my suit jacket.

Nice fitting. I too own an Eastman A2 in time worn finish.
Even for pros it`s hard to distinguish from an original.

Since I've worn the hell out of this thing it's just gotten better. Here's some shots taken in Houston this weekend.

Don't confuse acquiescence with love.

What's not to love about a jacket like that ?! It looks great and suits you.

 

[ButteMT61]

Don't confuse acquiescence with love.

How about this. She loves the things I get her to put up with the jackets I love? lol

Sounds like a perfectly-balanced relationship to me. lol

As long as I have enough money, yes. Today, I'm out of balance
